Kentucky vs Saint Peter’s Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology
This is a scary Kentucky team. Not only do they have the talent, but they now have the experience to combine with that. With one of the most balanced Wildcats teams we have seen in a while, we should be watching them play in the second weekend, at the very least.
Saint Peter’s wins games with their defense. Of course, they haven’t sniffed a team as talented as Kentucky. Look for the Wildcats to outclass them, while Saint Peter’s doesn’t have the offense to keep up.
